When It Comes to Self-Confidence, a Little Makeup Goes a Long Way
I wore lipstick for the first time at three years old. Here’s why I still wear it.

When I was three years old, I performed in my first dance recital. I got all dressed up in my little itsy-bitsy-teenie-weenie-yellow-polka-dot-bikini costume, which was, as you may have guessed, a tiny yellow bikini with black polka dots and lots of frill. But I didn’t realize until the day of the recital (or maybe it was dress rehearsal—you know, my three-year-old memory’s a bit foggy) that I was missing an essential part of the costume.
Lipstick.
To be specific, “Red Devil” lipstick by Victoria’s Secret.
